Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Pursuant the Transaction Agreement (the "Transaction Agreement"), dated as of June 10, 2014, by and among BioFuel Energy Corp. (the "Issuer") and the entities listed on Schedule I and Schedule II of the Transaction Agreement, on October 27, 2014, James R. Brickman indirectly sold interests in certain entities listed in the Transaction Agreement to the Issuer and as partial consideration for the sale of such interests, Mr. Brickman acquired beneficial ownership of 1,479,506 shares of common stock of the Issuer, the L. Loraine Brickman Revocable Trust (the "Revocable Trust") acquired beneficial ownership of 93,468 shares of common stock of the Issuer, and the Roger E. Brickman GST Marital Trust acquired beneficial ownership of 93,468 shares of common stock of the Issuer. (continued in footnote 2)
( 2)  Mr. Brickman may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of common stock of the Issuer directly held by the Revocable Trust and the Marital Trust by virtue of his position as a co-trustee of the Revocable Trust and the Marital Trust. Mr. Brickman disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock of the Issuer directly held by the Revocable Trust and the Marital Trust except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Brickman is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose. Upon the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Mr. Brickman became a member of the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board") and became the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. (continued in footnote 3)
( 3)  The Board approved the transactions pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and Mr. Brickman's receipt of beneficial ownership of securities pursuant to the Transaction Agreement in advance of the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. In addition, on October 27, 2014, the Issuer issued options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer to Mr. Brickman as an incentive award in connection with his employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. On October 27, 2014, the Issuer filed an amendment to its charter changing its name to Green Brick Partners, Inc.
( 4)  The options vest over a five-year term in equal installments of 100,000, with the first installment vesting on the first anniversary of issuance.
